Privacy policy.

1. About this policy

Guess Mate Chess is developed and published by Richard Cartwright. This draft describes information currently provided about the app and identifies details awaiting verification. No effective date is assigned until the final policy is approved.

2. What is currently known

The app does not require user registration or login. It supports offline gameplay and includes XP progression and leaderboard features. No personal data collection is intended by the developer; this intention is not a verified statement about the released app, its SDKs or its services.

Offline play and the absence of an account do not establish that no data is transmitted or collected.

3. Services and data under review

Each of the following must be checked against the shipping app, its dependencies, privacy manifests and network behaviour:

• Apple Game Center: whether it is used and what player information or scores it handles.
• Online leaderboards: provider, public profile information, scores, identifiers and connectivity requirements.
• Analytics and crash reporting: providers, diagnostic information and usage events.
• Advertising SDKs: whether any are included and whether they process data, even if ads are not displayed.
• Device identifiers: whether identifiers are accessed, stored or shared.
• Third-party APIs: trivia content and any other external requests.
• Cloud services and remote storage: whether game progress, XP, preferences or other information leaves the device.

4. Purposes, sharing and international transfers

The final policy must identify any collected data, purposes of processing, applicable legal bases, recipients and any relevant international transfers or safeguards. No third-party provider or processing arrangement is confirmed in this draft.

5. Storage, retention and deletion

Where progress and scores are stored, how long information is retained, and available deletion or recovery options remain unverified. No account is required, but that does not establish that all information is stored only on the device. Avoid deleting the app as a progress-recovery step until storage behaviour is confirmed.

6. Your choices and children’s privacy

The final policy will explain applicable access, correction, deletion and other privacy choices, how to make a request, and any relevant complaint route. The intended age audience and any additional requirements for children must also be confirmed before release.

7. This website

This website does not include analytics, advertising scripts, forms or an authentication system. Fonts are served with the website. The hosting provider may process technical request information needed to deliver and secure the website; the applicable hosting practices and retention must be reviewed as part of finalising this policy.

8. Updates and contact

A verified policy will be published here with an effective date and updated whenever practices change. The app’s App Store Connect privacy disclosures must match the released version, including relevant third-party practices.

A monitored privacy and support contact has not yet been supplied. Visit support for the current contact status.
